Twitter
hashtags are a simple way to find and tag tweets about a specific topic. They
are especially useful for recruiters who want their tweets to be seen by people
who may not follow them on Twitter. For example, a recruiter who has a post
about a legal related job may add a hashtag #legaljobs or two hashtags #legal
and #jobs. While some hashtags
already have hundreds of tweets, don’t be afraid to start your own. You can
visit www.twubs.com to track and view
current hashtags and the tweets associated with them.
Recruiters
should use hashtags to describe tweets that are important and valuable to users
inside and outside of Twitter. It’s not recommended that you use hashtags for
all of your tweets; but I would recommend using them for job postings. Remember, your hashtag will be part of
your tweet and since Twitter only allows 140 characters to say what you need to
say, it’s best to keep it short.
For
example when I looked up #legaljobs at www.twubs.com,
I found:
Temp to Direct Hire opp. with
reputable Cleveland law firm for attorney with 4-6 years construction
litigation exp. #legal #jobs #legal jobs
Very simple and to the point, with the
right hashtags, this post is likely to get seen.
Here
are few hashtags that already exist that may be useful for recruiters:
#legaljobs
#jobs
#legal_job
#legalrecruiter
